Nigerian food critic Opeyemi Famakin has drawn a reaction from actress Wumi Toriola amid her drama with celebrity food blogger, Tolani Osikoya, aka Chef T of Diary of a Kitchen Lover.
On March 13, 2025, social media was buzzing after Wumi Toriola called out Chef T for ignoring her request for collaboration.
This came after news that Funke Akindele had unfollowed Chef T and some other social media influencers.
Shortly after Wumi Toriola exposed her chat with Chef T, accusing her of being pompous, Opeyemi Famakin took to his Instagram page to react.
The celebrated food critic posted a video, where he proudly pledged his support for Chef T while condemning Wumi Toriola’s move to drag the food blogger.

According to Famakin, Chef T is one creator who does a lot of collaborations, even with upcoming social media influencers. The food critic said people are not entitled to the food blogger’s collaborations.
The food critic also spoke of how Wumi Toriola claimed to be Chef T’s fan but was quick to drag her because she ignored her request for a collaboration.
He said:
“We don’t do Chef T slander here, Chef T is a sweetheart. Chef T is positively contributing to the food space in Nigeria, Africa, and I’m not going to stand and watch one actress who did not get a collaboration drag the person’s name. We don’t do that here.”

Opeyemi Famakin’s video condemning Wumi Toriola for dragging Chef T soon caught the actress’ attention. The Nollywood star responded in the food critic’s comment section, where she also put him on blast.
She wrote:
“Dear Opeyemi,
“There’s really no need to act like a coward. My name is Wumi Toriola, and I’m merely responding to your tantrums and desperate need for attention – if it brings you even a shred of relevance, I truly don’t mind.
“It’s rather amusing, though, coming from someone without a defined career or any tangible job description. You’ve caused more harm than good to struggling entrepreneurs, all under the guise of being a self-appointed food critic.
“Next time you feel the urge to come for me, perhaps take a moment to reflect, establish a long-term career or build a successful business of your own. That way, your words might carry a little more weight.
“Sincerely, Wumi Toriola”

@Abdul_hashim_mohd:
“Well!!I think he allowed he’s emotions took the better part of him..maybe because he know the chef personally and no her struggles…but it’s not in his place to point who to drag and who not to…if the chef is a nice person the way u people say,then am sure she must have find a matured way of resolving it… Wunmi too was wrong to just call out someone with knowing wat the person is good tru…we all have messages we forget to attend to…so wunmi should have let go and move on… But it all love honestly.”

“There’s every possibility that as at that time probably their conversation might have went down so she might not be able to see it…. Jumping into conclusions or thinking for her is not just nice 👍 to me she should have msg her again or call her digit that if she has…..my opinion though. I come in peace ✌️.”
